The number one problem in today's internet server is a bad security setup.
If someone doesn't protect or shawdow that passwd file in the /etc directory
someone is going to take it and have total control of your server. By
default Unix drops the passwords (encrypted) into a passwd if the /etc. Its
the admins job to make sure that no one can download this and run it against
a brute force attacker. IE: Cracker Jack.
I use Cracker Jack because so far it seems to work fine for me. It does work
and I will prove it to you. Ok enuff of the bullshit..now if you can
get or trade for a passwd file. I can show you in the faq what you need
to do in order to crack the fucker.
PWfile(s) :
Wordfile :
Where it asks you for the pwfile... put the passwd lists name.
Where it asks for the Wordfile put the dictionary name. Now it will
start cracking the bitch. You will here beeps and see screen output
when it cracks an account. It will display the password it cracked
and the user id next to it.
Here is an example:
PWfile(s) : gate.pwd
Wordfile : puffs.dic
PWfile(s) : gate.pwd
Wordfile : puffs.dic
marika #(gkantor)
^- Password ^- UserId
You won't have to write this down..with cracker jack it will store
the cracked ids into a file called jack.pot. You can use a program
that comes with Cracker Jack called jackpot.exe to write a text file
for you with the information and everything. This is what you do after
you are finished cracking the passwd file.
jackpot reads the passwd file and compares it to Jack.pot and the > means
pipe it to a text file cracked.txt is a name I made up. Name it anything
you want. After you do this your cracked.txt should look like this...
PWfile(s) : gate.pwd
gkantor:marika:3009:301:George Kantor:/u3/gkantor:/bin/ksh
---------------------------------------------------------------------
*** REMEMBER ***
You can use any wordfile or dictionary file you want...just specify
it on the wordfile line.
** NOTE **
Use this as a learning tool...I won't be held liable for your lameness.
Now that I have given you newbies all you need to know about using
cracker jack please give me my due credit for sitting down and writing
this bad little puppy out for you.
I have cracked many password files and the only ones that are hard to
crack are the shadow'd passwd files. They too can be cracked but they
take a little more time..and thats another faq intirely. So if your
a systems adminstrator please protect that dear passwd file. :)
